UK Rapper Yung Filly Acquitted of Rape Charge Following Perth Performance

British rapper Yung Filly, whose legal name is George Lungu, has been acquitted of a rape charge by a Perth District Court. The verdict was delivered on Wednesday, concluding a trial that addressed allegations of sexual assault following a performance in the Australian city in February 2024.

Mr. Lungu had been accused by a woman of sexually assaulting her at a Perth hotel after a show earlier this year. He consistently maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings.

The entertainer, known for his work in music and online content creation, had been performing in Australia as part of a scheduled tour. The specifics of the court proceedings remain largely unpublicised, with legal restrictions often limiting detailed reporting on such cases until a verdict is reached.
